Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Suddenly Not Allowing Her to Attend the Meeting
On the 88th floor, Chi Enen finally managed to make two steaming cups of coffee according to how Li Beijue usually liked at home and was preparing to bring them to the conference room.
Just as she reached the elevator entrance, the elevator doors opened, and a familiar figure came into view. Chi Enen blurted out in astonishment, “You…” Isn’t this the person who helped her fend off the journalists at the kindergarten entrance just half an hour ago?
“What a coincidence.” Quan Dongting hadn’t expected to run into her here either. Seeing the two cups of steaming coffee in her hands, he offered to help, “Let me carry one for you.”
“I can manage on my own.”
“The coffee is too hot. Let me help you.” Quan Dongting, seemingly mild yet forcefully, took one cup of coffee from her and raised his eyebrows to ask, “You’re taking it to the conference room, right?”
“Yes.” Chi Enen couldn’t argue with him, and it wasn’t appropriate to wrestle with him in a public place, so she could only nod.
Quan Dongting carried the coffee with his long strides. Behind him followed a line of people in suits and ties holding files, each one looking at Chi Enen in surprise as if witnessing a miracle.
The Duke from the Habsden family was actually offering to carry coffee for this woman?
The public had always heard that this rarely seen Duke appeared elegant and gentlemanly in public. Despite having many close female friends, besides the occasional rumors, he maintained a proper distance from any woman at public events.
Previously, a world-famous Best Actress thought she had climbed high on the social ladder and believed she was the true love of this fabulously wealthy Duke. She had journalists follow her, wanting to use a public scandal to force a marriage. Unexpectedly, the Duke quashed the paparazzi news with a flick of his hand, and the career of that female star plummeted rapidly!
It was clear that the Duke from the Habsden family was a cold and heartless figure when it came to women.
How could such a noble and guarded Duke suddenly offer to help a small secretary with coffee without regard for the setting?
What was their relationship?
Chi Enen was unaware of Quan Dongting’s identity, so she didn’t think that helping with a cup of coffee was something worth marveling at. She carried her own cup and followed Quan Dongting into the conference room.
The people inside the conference room turned to look all at once—
When they saw President Li’s ‘girlfriend’ and the Duke from the Habsden family coming in one after the other, each with a cup of coffee, everyone was stunned.
They exchanged glances.
Li Beijue, of course, saw it too and his eyebrows suddenly knitted together! As soon as Chi Enen placed the coffee in front of him, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Chi Enen was about to head back to the pantries to make tea for the others when she belatedly realized she had been caught.
With so many people in the conference room, including staff from other companies, him grabbing her hand so openly…
Chi Enen’s ears instantly felt a bit hot, she shot him a glare, and wrenched her hand free. She hurried out to the pantries to serve the tea…
Just as she had finished making ten cups of tea in the pantries, the secretary came in. He greeted her politely, “Hello, Miss Chi.”
“President Li asked me to come and help with serving the tea.”
Chi Enen was glad to have help, “That’s great, you can carry two cups, and I’ll carry two, it will be faster that way.”
“Uhm.” The secretary seemed a bit troubled, “President Li just instructed me to bring them by myself.”
“…Why? Isn’t it faster with two people?” Chi Enen didn’t understand.
